Orlando attorney John Morgan has reportedly expressed that Florida needs a new political party and outlined his vision for leading the state as governor. Morgan, well-known for his advocacy in Florida politics, is considering launching a new party called the “Capitalist Party.”
Morgan is no stranger to political involvement, having supported constitutional amendments on marijuana and the minimum wage. According to a report by Politico, he is now focused on creating a new political force that would reflect his approach to governance.
For years, Morgan has been registered as a no-party affiliated voter. While he has supported Democratic candidates in the past, he believes that many issues transcend party lines. He is quoted as saying, “When you take the ‘D’ and the ‘R’ down, most of us agree on most things, and I find that very encouraging.”
Political observers, including University of Central Florida political science professor Aubrey Jewett, suggest that Morgan could have a real chance if he decides to run for governor. His approach may resonate with voters seeking an alternative to the traditional party system.
Morgan’s potential candidacy could signal a shift in Florida’s political landscape, offering a new direction for the state’s leadership.
